Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: To evaluate the pulmonary distribution of CGP69846A (ISIS 5132), a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide, following intra-tracheal (i.t.) instillation into Brown-Norway rats. METHODS: The pharmacokinetic profile of [3H]-CGP69846A was investigated following i.t. instillation into both naive and inflamed airways of Brown-Norway rats. The cellular distribution was determined using autoradiography, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry/fluorescence microscopy, in inflamed airways. RESULTS: CGP69846A displayed a dose-dependent lung retention following i.t. administration which was unaffected by local inflammation. Autoradiography and immunohistochemistry showed distribution to alveolar macrophages, eosinophils, bronchial and tracheal epithelium and alveolar cells. Studies with [FITC]-CGP69846A demonstrated a preferential association of oligonucleotide with leukocytes in bronchial lavage fluid of: macrophages > eosinophils = neutrophils >> lymphocytes. CONCLUSIONS: The dose-dependency of lung retention together with cell-specific uptake suggests that the lung can be used as a local target for antisense molecules with potentially minimal systemic effects. Furthermore, the preferential targeting of macrophages and the airway epithelium by oligonucleotides may represent rational cellular targets for antisense therapeutics.
